Wind Energy Has Experienced A Positive Growth Globally

As the global supply of fossil fuels becomes steadily lower, need is growing for new energy sources that are beneficial to the environment and cost-effective. Wind power is one solution to this need. Wind turbines require significant investment, but are cost-efficient in the long term. If construction of turbines is sufficiently increased, the wind may be able to in the future provide a very major portion of global energy.

One of the fastest growing energy sources in the world, wind power is a globally advantageous renewable resource.

One of the great parts about wind energy is that it has a large amount of positives to the environment and hardly any negative effects. Because wind energy uses the wind for the energy there is no emissions generated from the energy produced. It is estimated that the use of one million kWh of wind power can save around 600 tons of carbon dioxide emissions (Saidur, Rahim, Islam, & Solangi, 2011). Therefore, it is easy to see that the widespread use of wind power can help mitigate climate change. This is critical to help stop climate change and the United States is uniquely positioned to be the leader in curbing climate. When the United States starts heavily investing in alternative energy sources other countries will likely follow suit, which will be key to reducing global emissions.

The first one world issue that can be considered is environmental. Wind energy is beneficial to the environment, as it does not produce any waste, pollution and greenhouse gases. It has been found that the emissions eliminated in a year from generating electricity using a 1 megawatt wind turbine is over 1500 tons of carbon dioxide, 6.5 tons of sulfur dioxide, 3.2 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 60 pounds of mercury (“About Wind Energy: Factsheets”)—substances that are either greenhouse gases or cause negative health effects (“Health”) (“Basic Information”), or both (“Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)”. Wind turbines also don’t require water to prevent overheating, unlike other ways of producing energy. However, wind turbines can effect the environment negatively because they can ruin the landscape, as areas with high wind energy potential are usually very scenic. In addition to this, they can still cause noise pollution even though modern technology has allowed them to become quieter (Cruden 46).

In our world today, energy is needed to work our technologies and help us complete daily task. With a growing population, the demand for energy is very high. Harnessing the energy could sometimes be difficult and dangerous to ourselves and the environment. Fossil fuels and nuclear power are the most used types of energy in the United States. The problem with this is that the energy is limited, and harmful to the environment. Wind energy is an alternative renewable energy source that counters this problem, and is rapidly emerging in our world.

Optimum use of renewable source of energy like Wind can be considered as one of the answer to rapid increase in the demand of energy worldwide. Using the current technological advancements it is commercially viable to use the wind power as a source of energy for small scale to large scale industry.All kind of renewable source are highly dependent on environmental conditions and can not be controlled fully. Due to this inherent characteristics, power generation may vary. In the

Earth, as of today, is a world run by fuels and electricity. Every man, woman, and child is directly affect by them, whether it is by its consumption, uses, or price. One of the more recent sources for these fuels and electricity isn’t actually very recent at all. Wind Energy, or Wind Power when it is being converted into a useful form of energy, has actually been around for thousands of years. It has been used to push ships, as natural ventilation, and to pump seawater.{Insert thesis Here}

We are facing an energy crisis on Earth. Burning fossil fuels are harming the atmosphere; this global warming and affects produces chemicals that hurt our body. People are starting to think about using alternative energy. Wind power would be our first choice, because it’s clean, inexhaustible and renewable. Today, wind power is mainly used in Europe. We believed wind power would be the main source of alternative energy for world use.

The renewable energy from wind energy has become a popular method of producing energy. When the world realized fossil fuel emission are harmful to our atmosphere, many countries started to look toward renewable energy sources. In recent years the U.S. has given tax incentives and tax breaks for using a renewable energy sources. The U.S. has become the leaders in using wind energy for a renewable resources. Even though wind power energy is growing in popularity among government officials and the general public, however wind energy has some problems and challenges in providing energy to the world, both in the short and the long term. Wind energy used alone is not the approach

What makes any form of electrical generation efficient? Is it the cost per energy unit, or the acreage needed per produced energy unit, or the impact/s on the climate? The reality is all of those factors and many more go into it – and there are varying degrees of “yes” and “no” depending on which factors the analysis is based upon. Considering the finite reality of natural resources, fossil-fuel produced electricity will never be a permanent solution to electricity needs and shortages - but can wind power play a real role in replacing those fossil-fuel based power plants? The solution this paper will suggest is an educated effort at the best and most practical (and efficient) uses for wind power.
